1950's Tilley conversion unit-CH1

I would like to thank, @Henry Plews, @Konabill and @BigStevie, for there help in getting this R1 conversion together, they know what parts they were involved in, and i am truly thankful that words can't explain my appreciation, so thanks guys.
Without their help i wouldn't have been able to complete this lamp.
It's taken over 4 months to complete this unit, and parts form Australia, New Mexico, America and the Uk.
Michael and i decided to do a full fettle on this lamp, so i have put in all the steps, to show how much work was done to re-stored this brilliant idea that Tilley had.
The only thing that is wrong with this lamp is it is supposed to have a chrome reflector, the one i had spare was too far gone, so i had to polish it back to copper.



I hope you like my latest Tilley Lamp or heater, which i believe was a magnificent idea.
Maybe one day i might light it up for the money shots, as a lamp and then a heater?
As this took longer than anticipated the reflector has dust on it, so it shows up in the photos.

 

@Buggerlugs .. The pride you take in your restorations shows through..

Well done and thank you both for all your hard work

 

@podbros, thanks mate we are glad you like our work.

 

Excellent job, wouldn’t expect anything else from you guys. You must be chuffed with the result.

 

It's cleaned up well!

 

Amazing, great to see. Well done

 

It looks like it just came out of the box. Very nice work.

 

Nice job. Happy that things worked out well for you.

 

Excellent work fellas

 

Great work.......looks very nice indeed.
High quality work for sure.

 

Looks amazing, copper gives it a nice tone

 

Thanks to all for their comments and encouragement.

 

Hello all, I have finally got the last remaining parts for my Tilley R1 Conversion Lamp today.
The last pieces of the puzzle are, the chrome reflector and the air tube nuts.
Also the reflector was in very bad shape, this is how she polished up, about 6 months ago now.
See photos below.



Thanks for looking.
